don't get me going about bus services .....
it's seriously farked up nowadays .... nevermind the crowding
during peak hours ... I like to stagger my appointments till after
peak hours, so I don't have to "kueh" .....
but what happens then ?!?! .... I sometimes have to wait for a
blardy half an hour for a bus !!! ....
I suspect that the operators sneakily tweaked the frequency of
buses with less number of non-peak riders ....
I waited for an average of 20 minutes for no. 75 right outside
my house, and it's only a few stops away from the terminal, so no
such bullshit as it got stuck onto traffic somewhere ....
other buses were the same, 67, 700, etc .....
oh sure .... a $4500 peanuts fine is going to make them wake up
their idea ....
*ptui ! ....
for SMRT, their travelling time allocated is f-up. I remembered
Sv 67 getting only like 100 mins to clear when I calculated it
takes abt 130 mins at least at 40 - 45kph (if take into
consideration time at bus stop, traffic junctions).
eh, SMRT only got $1000 fine
as for SBS, there's one case tat was unfair because PTC allowed
SMRT to withdraw a bus service tat had full capacity, leading to Sv
196 left to serve ppl bet Marine Parade & Shenton Way - hence
tis recorded 10 overloaded trip
As for tat 'no reason for bus to be late since it's just from
bus terminal' is also bull shit... wat happens if the other
direction had incident i.e. dead fall? e poor buses can't move and
e poor driver's break is all eaten up, he has to start another trip
immedatety after alighting everyone. as again, it should not be a
daily affair either
